The Red Tide

There's something very wrong here. The earth is barren and the plants are withered. Fire pulses under the ground. There is a curse here, and unless it is neutralized it will tear apart the world from the seams.

Connor has never asked for much. Enough food for his family, a small cottage, maybe a herd of sheep for livelihood. He has never asked for much. But on his sixteenth birthday, he is suddenly thrust with the burden of the world. He's always had expectations piled onto him, so will this be his breaking point?

.

Simone has known blood and violence all his life. He loves it, the thrill of the hunt. It's not like he wants to change, so he isn't exactly happy when he finds out that he's the wolf god reincarnated. But since he has no choice in the matter, he's spilling as much blood as he can before the journey.

.

Acantha has been a fighter all her life. She knows her blade like the back of her hand. She knows the arena and the fights, the roar of the crowd cheering for her. She loves it. The feeling of victory and the rush of adrenaline in her veins. But this new task... will it be too much?

.

Rubella knows only the tranquil silence of the temples. Born and raised in a monastery to the gods. She's been raised in silence and walked the mountains. Honoring the gods has been ingrained deep within her soul, so when she finds out that she is one of the gods... well, she doesn't really know what to do.

Four unlikely heroes who have nothing in common. Will they succeed on their quest, or will they crumble under the pressure?
